TLDR Trichodysplasia spinulosa is a rare skin condition caused by a virus, treatable with antiviral medication.
Trichodysplasia spinulosa was identified as a rare skin condition linked to polyomavirus, primarily affecting individuals with compromised immune systems. It was characterized by multiple folliculocentric papules with spinous projections, predominantly on the face. The distinct histopathological features of the condition facilitated its diagnosis. Treatment with antiviral agents was found to be the most effective approach.
